A tiki classic born in 1950s Hollywood, the Scorpion balances the weight of Cognac against light rum's clean sweetness, creating a foundation richer than most tropical drinks. Fresh citrus cuts through the brandy's grape notes while orgeat adds a subtle almond perfume that lingers on the finish. The result is fruity and refreshing but with an unmistakable depth that separates it from lighter rum punches.
